Website builder renewal prices: first term vs after
What 10 website builders charge for their entry paid plan in US dollars, what they say it renews at, and what happens to the free domain. Every figure is linked to the vendor's own page. Last updated 12 November 2026.
What do website builders cost after the first term?
On 12 November 2026, entry paid plans at 10 website builders ranged from $4 to $22 a month on annual billing in the United States. Only Hostinger published a renewal price: $1.99 a month for a 48-month first term, then $10.99 a month. Where a free domain is included it is free for the first year; listed .com renewals were $13.35 a year at Wix, $20 at Squarespace and $22.99 at GoDaddy.

Who publishes this: Neweb sells a website builder, so it appears in the table as one row, in alphabetical order with everyone else and held to the same rule: a figure is printed only if it is on the vendor's own page. Where a page did not state something, the cell says "not published" instead of an estimate.
The price on a website builder's home page is usually the price of the first term. What you pay later depends on two things most pricing pages keep in the small print: whether the plan price changes at renewal, and what the "free" domain costs once its free year ends.
We could not find one table that lists both for the main builders with a date and a source for each number, and the comparison sites that cover it disagree with each other. This page is that table. It covers the cheapest paid plan at each builder, because that is the price most people compare.

US dollars, United States pricing, per month unless stated, before tax. "Annual billing" is the monthly equivalent of a plan paid for a year upfront. "Not published" means the vendor's page did not state the figure on 12 November 2026; "not verified" means we could not see it. Click a column heading to sort. Prices vary by region and change often: confirm on the vendor's page before you buy.

What the table shows
- Renewal prices are rarely printed. Hostinger was the only builder that stated on its plan card what the plan renews at ($10.99 a month for Premium after a $1.99 first term). The other nine list one price per billing period and say nothing separate about renewal.
- The lowest first-term price has the longest commitment. Hostinger's $1.99 a month is a 48-month term paid upfront ($95.52), and the page says it renews "for the same term". No monthly or one-year price was shown on the page.
- Monthly billing costs 14% to 125% more than annual. Durable charges $25 instead of $22. Wix Light is $24 against $17, Squarespace Basic $25 against $19, Webflow Basic $25 against $15, and 10Web, GoDaddy, Neweb and WordPress.com roughly double on monthly billing.
- "Free domain" means year one. Five builders say so directly. After that, the listed .com price was $13.35 a year at Wix, $20 at Squarespace and $22.99 at GoDaddy. Squarespace's help centre adds that renewal prices for .com, .net, .org and .xyz are being raised.
- Free domains often need an annual plan. Wix, Squarespace and WordPress.com exclude monthly plans from the free domain, and Framer lists its complimentary domain as "included on yearly".
- A free plan is common, a free live site on your own domain is not. 7 of 10 have a free tier, typically on the vendor's subdomain, with the vendor's branding, or as a preview.
Notes on each builder
- 10Web. Built on WordPress ("Full WordPress CMS" is listed on every plan). Monthly billing figure is the 1-month price in the page data.
- Durable. Yearly billing is labelled "Save 15%".
- Framer. The page has a yearly-billing toggle and showed one price per plan when loaded, so we could not confirm whether $10 is the yearly or the monthly rate.
- GoDaddy Website Builder. United States market view. Plans include monthly AI credits that expire each billing cycle. Full breakdown: GoDaddy Website Builder pricing explained.
- Hostinger Website Builder. The page showed only the 48-month prepaid term. "All plans are paid upfront."
- Neweb. Built on WordPress with one-click export. No email mailbox is included.
- Squarespace. US prices from Squarespace's own price file (last updated by Squarespace on 5 October 2026). $19/mo billed yearly is $228 a year. Full breakdown: Squarespace pricing explained.
- Webflow. "All prices in USD, per site, plus applicable taxes."
- Wix. wix.com/plans shows location-based prices, so the US figures come from Wix's own articles, which Wix marks as current for November 2026. Full breakdown: Wix pricing explained.
- WordPress.com. Prices exclude taxes. The renewal line on the pricing page is filled in by script and showed a local-currency figure from our location.
Methodology
For each builder we opened the vendor's own pricing page on 12 November 2026 and recorded the cheapest paid plan for a single website: the month-to-month price, the monthly equivalent on annual billing, any first-term promotional price, the renewal price if one is stated, the free-domain terms and whether a free plan exists. Domain renewal prices come from the vendor's own domain or help pages where those state a figure. Each row links to the pages used.
Currency and region. All figures are US dollars for the United States market, before tax. The pages were loaded from India, and several vendors show local prices there. For those we used an official US-dollar source instead: Squarespace's own multi-currency price file, GoDaddy's United States market view, and for Wix the US-dollar prices in Wix's own pricing articles (which Wix marks as current for November 2026), because wix.com/plans states that the prices it displays vary by location.
Left out. Jimdo, Shopify and Square Online (formerly Weebly) are not in the table because their pages showed only local-currency or no plan prices from our location, and we do not print a number we could not see. Shopify is also an e-commerce platform, not a general website builder.
What "not published" covers. It means the page did not state the figure. It does not mean the price will stay the same, and it does not mean it will rise. Vendors can change prices at renewal under their terms of service.
Not ranked. Rows are in alphabetical order. This table does not rate the products, and a low price here says nothing about whether a builder suits your project.
Research was done by Neweb with AI-assisted retrieval and every figure can be checked by following the link in its row. Found an error or a newer price? Email hello@neweb.ai and it will be corrected with a dated entry in the log below.

Renewal price questions
Which website builders publish their renewal price?
Of the 10 builders checked on 12 November 2026, only Hostinger printed a renewal price on its plan card: the Premium plan was $1.99 a month for a 48-month prepaid term and "renews at $10.99/mo for the same term". The other nine showed a list price with no separate renewal figure, so the list price is the only published number.
Why is the renewal price higher than the first-year price?
Two separate things usually change after the first term. A promotional plan price ends and the regular price applies, and the free domain year ends so the domain starts renewing at its yearly rate. On the pages checked, .com renewal was listed at $13.35 a year at Wix, $20 at Squarespace and $22.99 at GoDaddy.
Is the free domain free forever?
No builder in this table says so. Wix, Squarespace, Hostinger, WordPress.com and Neweb state that the domain is free for the first year. Durable, Framer, GoDaddy and 10Web advertise a free custom domain without stating the length of the free period on the pages checked, and Webflow does not include a domain at all.
Are these prices the same outside the United States?
No. Wix says "prices and currency vary by location", Squarespace publishes separate prices in 27 currencies, and GoDaddy, WordPress.com, Jimdo and Shopify showed local-currency prices when their pages were loaded from India. This table is the US-dollar price for the United States market only. Taxes are extra in most cases.
How often is this table updated?
The table is re-checked against each vendor's own page and every row carries the date it was last checked. The current edition was checked on 12 November 2026. Each edition is added to the change log on this page, and a detected change is confirmed by a person before it is published.
Can I reuse this data?
Yes. The table is available as CSV and JSON under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. Use it in articles, spreadsheets or research with a link back to this page. For any single figure, the vendor's own page linked in that row is the primary source.
